    • RE: Old LCD PC monitor

      Dear all,

      next issue: to reduce the empty space behind the LCD panel, I bought a 90 degrees DVI adapter. But I have noticed, my plug was DVI-D and I bought DVI-I.

      Question: I don’t want to wait a week for a new one, can I remove few pins (esp. the 4 on the left) on my own? see picture below:
      0_1504603335463_2000px-DVI_Connector_Types.svg.png

      Thx for your help!

      MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
      If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues

      so, as a complete noobie, I just pasted the code (adding Google Api key) in both files.

      I can see, there is a gap in the corner (I hope for the map) and if I get you correctly, the map will load “soon”(?).

      Thank you one more time and will keep u posted.

    • MM & Google Maps Traffic

      Hi all,

      I was looking in the forum and internet, but couldn’t find a solution. Did anyone on you managed to show the google maps route (from A to B) and trafic?

      Like this (example from this forum):
      alt text.

      I (hope i did) intalled the module MMM-googlemaps. Sometimes I read I need an iFrame, sometimes: it won’t work with an iFrame.
      My code:

      //		{
      		   module: "MMM-googlemaps",
      		   position: 'bottom_right',
      		   config: {
      		       apikey: '*my API*',
      			origin: 'Köln,+Deutschland',
      			destination: 'Essen,+Deutschland',
      			mode: driving,
      		   }
      		},
      

      Thx for your support!

      Next steps:

      1. MM configuration & understanding how it works
      2. to shorten the wooden legs
      3. to order + build a frame
      4. put everything together :)

    • RE: Old LCD PC monitor

      one question, which is bothering me: the controller plate has spot for grounding (the plate was connected with the metal body before via this “grounding spot”). Do I need to ground it e.g. with power supply or similar or I can leave the plate ungrounded?

      Hi,

      there is also another challenge:
      alt text
      I would liek to get rid of these metal body. The side you can see shoud me glued to the plastic.

      What can I put between the curcuit and the plastic? Some small plastik tubes? Wood? Rubber? Should I then glue the boards or better (for the future) screw it to to the “legs”?

      How about grounding it? Needed?

    • RE: Old LCD PC monitor

      small update:
      I got the screen up and running (I forgot to switch over from the monitor body a small controll panel), unfortunatelly only via VGA. HDMI is definitely not working.

      Any idea:

      1. if I could connect RaPi to the monitor via DVI (micro HDMI DVI)?
      2. or is there a connector (micro HDMI VGA)?

      -> do I need a digital connection (hdmi) or analog (vga)?

      For me a good information for today is, I don’t have to buy a new 27 inch LCD panel :D

      Hi all,

      for the start, thanks a lot for you answers!

      Rasberry is there, so I wanted to test, if the screen is working. Ta-da! It’s not :(

      I had already problems with HDMI (my cat threw the screen down from the piano…) but VGA was always working. Now neither nor. I have Samsung SyncMaster T260HD.

      Any idea, what could be the problem? I alreday ordered the mirror (40x60 cm) so if I would like to buy a new screen, it will be expensive…

      Hi all,

      I’m starting my journey with the mirror. For the start I have dismantled my old PC monitor and have a question: can I use it? The controller is quite big, so maybe I can remove the steel or should I buy a new controller (if possible)?
